def get_vqd(query: str, region: str, force_request: bool = False) -> str:
"""Returns the ``vqd`` that fits to the *query*.
:param query: The query term
:param region: DDG's region code
:param force_request: force a request to get a vqd value from DDG
TL;DR; the ``vqd`` value is needed to pass DDG's bot protection and is used
by all request to DDG:
- DuckDuckGo Lite: ``https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite`` (POST form data)
- DuckDuckGo Web: ``https://links.duckduckgo.com/d.js?q=...&vqd=...``
- DuckDuckGo Images: ``https://duckduckgo.com/i.js??q=...&vqd=...``
- DuckDuckGo Videos: ``https://duckduckgo.com/v.js??q=...&vqd=...``
- DuckDuckGo News: ``https://duckduckgo.com/news.js??q=...&vqd=...``
DDG's bot detection is sensitive to the ``vqd`` value. For some search terms
(such as extremely long search terms that are often sent by bots), no ``vqd``
value can be determined.
If SearXNG cannot determine a ``vqd`` value, then no request should go out
to DDG.
.. attention::
A request with a wrong ``vqd`` value leads to DDG temporarily putting
SearXNG's IP on a block list.
Requests from IPs in this block list run into timeouts. Not sure, but it
seems the block list is a sliding window: to get my IP rid from the bot list
I had to cool down my IP for 1h (send no requests from that IP to DDG).
